20. Rick Tocchet

  •  
Rick Tocchet began and ended his playing career with the Philadelphia Flyers.   He spent seasons in Pittsburgh (where he won the Stanley Cup), Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, and Phoenix, but scored 508 of his 952 Points in the National Hockey League with the Flyers.  Tocchet was a bruising power forward who, despite having great individual seasons elsewhere, was synonymous with the ethos of Philadelphia.  Notably, the only season that he would finish in the top ten in Hart Trophy voting was as a Flyer (1990-91).  He was chosen for the Flyers Hall of Fame in 2021.
